21:40:00 <gry> do you have a linux machine?
21:40:00 <gry> would you like to learn python?
21:41:00 <Zade> nope and maybe python
21:43:00 <gry> so maybe python and it is a windows pc
21:45:00 <Zade> i read once that if you work out linux then python is easier to pick up
21:45:00 <gry> for some people yes, and it helps, but is not necessary
21:45:00 <gry> arch linux is cool
21:46:00 <electrohead> lol
21:46:00 <electrohead> morning/afternoon
21:46:00 <gry> hi
21:46:00 <Zade> hello electrohead
21:46:00 <gry> late evening
21:46:00 <gry> Zade are you in aedt?
21:48:00 <Zade> yes
21:49:00 <gry> Zade maybe at monday at 6pm i can chat on irc with python intro if you like, for a few weeks to get you started
21:49:00 <Zade> i am in melb
21:49:00 <gry> i am in sydney
21:50:00 <Zade> that would be cool but i am normnally still at work
21:50:00 <gry> i live with siblings so i do not often have free evenings, only on mondays
21:50:00 <gry> 7pm mondays any good?
21:50:00 <electrohead> if (you) can learn both python and c++, you will be set
21:51:00 <Zade> usually on a monday i am home after 8 pm
21:51:00 <Zade> long days
21:52:00 <gry> i see, what about mornings? friday morning 6am?
21:52:00 <Zade> nuh i try and start work between 7 and 8 am
21:52:00 <gry> i had long day today, all day long webinar
21:53:00 <gry> i see.is your work often 11 hours long?
21:53:00 <gry> do you work from home or office?
21:54:00 <Zade> at the moment yes, i am flat out, i have 2 cassuals workers, one is okay the other needs lots of help
21:54:00 <Zade> i work at a uni
21:54:00 <gry> what is your occupation at uni?
21:55:00 <gry> teaching or research?
21:55:00 <Zade> Resource sharing coordinator
21:56:00 <Zade> unis from over the world request our items, i say yes or no
21:56:00 <Zade> likewise we request items from other unis
21:57:00 <gry> what kind of items is it?
21:58:00 <gry> sounds like admin work
21:58:00 <Zade> books, journals, thesis
21:59:00 <gry> ah library
21:59:00 <Zade> yep
21:59:00 <gry> i work at unsw, mecheng, research position
21:59:00 <gry> looking for teaching opportunities
21:59:00 <Zade> cool
21:59:00 <gry> as i think with research-only, job security is not very good
22:00:00 <gry> it has to be a mix of teaching and research
22:00:00 <gry> does your uni have opportunities for casual teaching? i am in nsw
22:01:00 <gry> i'm involved in numerical modeling so i can do teaching in related areas
22:02:00 <Zade> sometimes, although i am a world away from most things that happen at uni
22:02:00 <Zade> i know they get some staff from the u.k for like 1 semester
22:03:00 <Zade> or u,s
22:03:00 <gry> i see
22:04:00 <Zade> its a big uni
22:05:00 <Zade> so i would imagine would be all sorts of opportunities
22:08:00 <gry> uni of melbourne?
22:08:00 <Zade> yep
22:08:00 <gry> ok thanks i will check
